Eduardo Barroso’s son hails Sporting star: A real talent | OneFootball

Sporting returned to winning ways in the Portuguese League, by defeating Casa Pia at Alvalade, 3-0, in the 18th round match, with a brace from the returning Geny Catamo and a goal from Daniel Bragança. Eduardo Garcia, daughter of Eduardo Barroso, highlighted the performance of the Mozambican winger.

"This Genius Catano has become a star," she wrote on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter) after the match. The 'number 10' of the green and white emblem, who was absent in recent games due to national team duty, scored at 38 and 43 minutes.

The athlete himself was very pleased with the three points earned and highlighted the team effort: "I am very proud of the work I have done and I also missed coming back here to help the team in pursuit of the championship," he said, in statements to Sporting TV, explaining the play of the second goal.

"It's a moment of inspiration, but Inácio and I had been discussing during training that they play with a back five and as a winger, I always had the obligation to exploit the depth, to understand the game, and it happened at the moment: we had the opportunity and Inácio managed to deliver a great pass to me and I was able to convert it into a goal. It's what I also said, that the team's work is good and we need to continue improving on what we did last year, in the first round. Now it's the start of the second round and we're in the new year, we believe the results can be different," he stated.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played 21 matches. In the 1,176 minutes he was on the pitch, the left-footer has scored five goals and assisted his teammates on three other occasions.
